Microsoft cuts prices in Taiwan dispute

Microsoft will cut software prices in Taiwan by a quarter to settle an investigation into unfair trade practices, the island's competition watchdog said Thursday.

It will also sell the components of its Office XP suite of software separately and share its closely guarded source code for the Windows operating system with the government, the cabinet's Fair Trade Commission said.
